Hello! Are you so excited about it being 2015? I am looking forward to so much of what’s ahead, but before I get too far ahead of myself, I thought I would look back at my resolutions from last year and give myself a grade for how well I did! Since there is…

Since my mom was visiting, I made her a Halloween costume too! Because she grew up in Africa, she has never had a real Halloween costume, so it was fun making her one! She wore the witches hat that went with Emmie’s costume last year, and was a medieval style witch. I made…

If you didn’t see it, here is my last post, in which I paper mache’d some skulls for my front entry way, I used the same technique for my mummy, head, with just a few added details. Here is my mummy head… Pretty scary/awesome right? My kids named it Nana as a joke (not so…

I know I am a bad blogger, we have been so busy lately I haven’t even cared! We have my mom in town right now, which has been so fun, and literally as she flew in to Korea to meet us, we were flying from Hong Kong, back to Korea, from an amazing whirlwind trip…

I just love the pictures, and…

This last weekend, we had some friends invite us over for a fun game night, and when we asked them what we could bring, we were assigned a kid friendly dessert. While wandering around the food store I saw little graham cracker mini crusts, and decided that s’mores tarts would be yummy and…

I am trying to catch up on sharing some projects I made forever ago, but never blogged about (you would not believe how many of those I have!) So today I thought I would talk about something that is sort of currently on my mind, as well as sharing a related project, so…

I shared the 5 new pillows I recently made for the family room yesterday, with the promise that today I would get around to posting the tutorial for the Anthropologie inspired velvet tassel pillow, My pillow is a knockoff of Anthropologie’s Firenze Velvet Tassel Pillow, My teal velvet fabric color was…

I keep putting off posting anything new, a. because I don’t want to overwhelm poor Paul while he is fiddling with the new design, and b. because I am currently still a little intimidated by the new WP format and figuring out how to do a post with pictures and links etc. so sorry if…
